The loss was typical because the Warriors played their typical no defense game. Let's face it. The Warriors are badly coached and do not have enoughquality athletes. First, let's talk about Nelly.

What has he ever won? He got 1200 wins by being in the league forever. How many losses do he have? He has never won a championship, even when he had good teams. He's a quitter, he quit on the Warriors after he chased our star out of town (Webber). He quit on the Knicks and he quit on Dallas. I gurantee you he will quit on the Warriors again.

Dunleavy. I am tired of this pathetic little twirp. Did you see his "great handles" on display tonight? He is probably the biggest reason why the game turned around on the Warriors. Are there still any Dunleavy fans out there?

Troy Murphy is not athletic enough to be an NBA starter. has anyone notice that he's not grabbing vey many rebounds? His rebpund numbers were inflated the last couple of years because he had no competiton on the Warriors. Now he has Pietrus and Biedrins beating him to the ball, also Barnes.

We miss J. Rich badly, He is the true go-to guy on the team. Without him we have no chance.

They just did not come out with any energy to match Seattle's in the second half. The bench had a horrible shooting night, not much contribution from them. Nelson did have some weird lineups, but I was too busy watching the Saints kill the Cowboys so I didn't see much of this game. So all I know is that the Warriors collapsed and never recovered. It was just a matter of not being able to close out games, and it's nothing new. This problem does not sit on Nelly's coaching, this problem sits on the Warriors. It has dated back since Baron's arrival here in the bay area. They just don't finish games. I promise you, if we won at least more than 75% of the games that we had in control, then the word "playoffs" could be used in the bay area for NBA basketball.

We are never as bad, or as good, as the fans on this site seem to believe. After each game we win we are making the playoffs, after each one we lose, we suck and will be back in the draft. The NBA season is a long one, and I hope that we can finish above .500, it may not be enough to make the playoffs, but it will mean we are improving - it won't happen overnight, too young a team.
As for Don Nelson - he deserves much more respect for getting 1200 wins. It isn't just about longevity. He's good for this team, and wins against Utah and Spurs are evidence. Baron may seem like he's ball hogging because other guys didn't step up tonight. For a point guard to have 13 assists while taking 19 shots isn't the definition of a ball hog. Monte, Biedrins and Barnes are reading too much of their press and didn't bring it in the second half. Dun and Troy were on the bench alot in the second half - so don't blame the usual scapegoats.

I agree with nellie that until we see the team at full strength its really hard to say how good we are. It's a long season folks. Hang in there.

Sleepy, I think you have been sleeping a little bit to long my friend. The season is one quarter over and the Warriors look like the same old Warriors. You know, every time I hear someone say "wait until we are at full strength" I laugh. Is any pro team ever at full strenghth? Any team is only as good its weakest link. You have to be able to play through injuries. The moon and the stars are never in perfect alighnment.

IT IS GETTING LATE, QUICKLY. Every year we make excuses like they are young, they are injured, they have bad coaching. How about, they do not have very good players?

Ball hogging also includes dribbling it for most of the 24 second clock.

maybe...Nash also dribbles for much of the clock, so it depends how you are dribbling. I didn't see the game, so you may be right, he may have hurt the team, but 13 dimes does not sound that selfish.
